FAIR CROWD EXCEEDS LAST YEAR'S
AS EXHIBITION GETS INTO FULL SWING
i ■ - '
^xhibits, Midway, Free Shows and Other Attractions Surpass all Other Years; Exhibitors' List is
Larger Tran Ever
WILL COME TO CLOSE ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Today is the third day of the Kutztown Fair—bigger, better and more
attractive than ever.
Everyone is voicing that sentiment
wherever one goes. The Fair Association directors axe being complimented on every side for the fine
manner in which the annual exhibition is being conducted. Clean shows,
fun for everyone, and a great display
of products from the farm and home
are aiding in making the week everything it should be.
The fair this year is dedicated to
George Washington, the Farmer. This
theme is being carried out to the
fullest extent. Especially are the fireworks in remembrance of Washington. Each night patriotic pieces have
been shown, and the climax will be
reached tonight when the Iorio Fireworks Company will show Washington crossing the Delaware. This is
one of the most unique pieces ever
built and should attract the attention
of hundreds of people.
The free stage acts are the best that
H-en seen here in a long time.
Youngs are the sensation
was said they would be, and
other numbers, especially the
i dog act. are of the highest
calibre, i
, Judges nave had quite a job in
making the awards in all departments.
are exceptionally good displays this year, and it took all of
two days to complete the work. Prize
winners are listed elsewhere in the
I
estimated that at least 15.000
people were on the grounds the first
two days for afternoon and evening
performances. The Midway is most
colorful this year, and is exceptionally fine for the kiddies, who are
having the time of their lives.
There is cooperation on every hand.
When the fair ends on Friday night,
the directors believe that they will
have set another record—both in attendance and in the quality and
quantity of the annual show.

The first Daily Vacation Bible
School ever to have been held in
Kutztown will hold its closing exercises at 2 o'clock this coming Saturday afternoon in the Trinity Lutheran
Parish House, it was announced today by Rev. E. K. Angstadt, pastor of
St. John's Reformed Church, and director of the school.
All who are interested in the
school are invited to hear the program and view the exhibition of
handwork made by the children as
part' of the training during the past
three weeks. The exercises are designed to illustrate the type of study
included in the curriculum Und
should prove very interesting to all
who are concerned with the religious
education of children.
The children themselves are busy
this week preparing to entertain their
parents on Saturday, and every spare
moment is devoted to the making of
invitations and the arrangement of
the program. The members of the
faculty feel satisfied that their work
has been worthwhile and the interest and activity of the pupils confirm this impression. As the school
sessions draw to a close, the one hope
expressed by both children and
teachers is that there may be another
daily vacation Bible school next year.
St. John's Reformed Church sponsored this idea, and Trinity Lutheran
Church offered the use of the parish
house for the sessions. The aides volunteered their services to Rev. Angstadt and there has been fine cooperation and it has been a wonderful
thing for the kiddies.

COUNCIL MUST COLLECT
FEDERAL ELECTRIC TAX
To the Public:—
It had been the desire of
Kutztown Borough Council to
pay the three per cent Federal
tax on electric bills and the
matter had been taken before
the Collector of Revenues, who
replied that the law provides
that this ta* must be collected
from the consumer.
Such being the case, the tax
must be collected and can not
be paid by the Borough, so as
to allow this as a reduction to
the people of town.
(Signed)

Chief Burgess Harry B. Yoder. Superintendent W. J. Bear was also
present at this meeting.
The president called for reports of

seconded it was decided that $3,000
covering be taken with the Farmers

that the balance of insurance required

Under Highway, it was reported
that nothing had been done up to
this time in alteration of the catch
basin fronting Mrs. 3utz's property,
but it was instructed that Mr. Bear
make the necessary reconstruction as
soon as possible. At this time it was
also reported that the alley in rear
of Deisher Knitting Mills was in bad
condition and some temporary repairs should be made at once. It was
instructed that Mr. Bear investigate
and attend to the fixing of the same.
At this time it was reported that during the Fair Week "No Parking"
should be allowed on Walnut Street
and that the necessary signs be
placed. It was instructed that Mr.
Bear place the necessary signs as in
former years.
Under new business, it wa^ reported that the Borough would be required to collect the Federal tax of
3 per cent on domestic and commercial electric light bills to consumers.
This charge will have to be made and
collected by the Borough at the end

motion moved and seconded it was
instructed that the Borough Solicitor
apply for extension of time, so that
all the necessary detail work can be
arranged for in connection with these
required collections.
Upon motion it was instructed that
the Borough authorities make the
necessary arrangements for the collection and return of the 3 per cent

THRONGS AT OFFICIAL OPENING OF POOL
HERE SEE BEAUTY CONTEST AND TAKE DIP
Mae Kemp Chosen Miss East Penn Valley on Sunday at
Dedication; Burgess Yoder Accepts Pool
on Behalf of Town
MORE THAN 500 BATHERS ENJOY SWIM IN POOL
Kutztown's new swimming pool
was officially opened with pomp and
ceremony on Sunday afternoon, with
at least 5,000 people looking on and
participating in the affair.
Automobiles poured into the
grounds in a steady stream from 12.30
to 2 o'clock, and the seating capacity
of the grounds was overtaxed, even
though more than 500 people took
advantage of a swim in the pool. At
no time during the afternoon could
they supply the demand for baskets
in which to place clothing, and many
were allowed to change costumes free
of charge and place their clothing in
automobiles.
Probably the majority of the folks
came to witness the beauty contest
which was staged on the grounds.
Five girls participated in the affair:
"Miss Kutztown," Miss Lucy Luckenbill; "Miss Topton." Miss Mae Yoder;
"Miss Greenwich." Miss Mae Kemp;
"Miss Maxatawny," Miss Elda Fenstermacher, and "Miss Longswamp,"
Miss Kathryn Kaiser.
Judges for the affair were chosen
on the grounds so that they could be
entirely impartial. Three Reading
men, Theodore Schlegel, Clarence
Esterly and Edward Bingaman, reviewed the girls as they marched
about the pool, and as they returned
to the platform, after a short deliberation, they were unanimous in choosing Miss Kemp, of Greenwich, as
"Miss East Penn Valley." The choice
was popular and Miss Kemp was
given quite a hannd. Each of the
other girls was given a season ticket
to the pool for their share in making
the affair a success. Miss Kemp was
presented with a ten dollar bill. The
presentation was made by Harry G.
Seltzer, who was master of ceremonies for the afternoon.
The affair began promptly with a
short band concert by the Kutztown
Band. Through the amplification system set up by George O'Neil, the
music was carried to all parts of the
grounds.
Mr. Seltzer, in behalf of the Kutztown Volunteer Firemen, welcomed
the people to Kutztown and the new
pool. His remarks were quite appropriate, and he thanked everyone for
aiding the firemen in making the joyous event a success.
The Kutztown Band, under the direction of Preston Metzger, again presented several numbers, and then
Burgess Harry B. Yoder was introduced and as Burgess of the community expressed his appreciation of
the work undertaken by the firemen.
Burgess Yoder said in part:
"Fellow Citizens:—It is a pleasure
to be given the opportunity of saying
a few words to such a large assemblage, gathered here for this momentous occasion of dedicating the
swimming pool of the Borough of
Kutztown. 'Tis true the pool has been
opened to the public several weeks
in which time thousands of men,
women and children enjoyed the
swimming facilities. But we are
gathered here, today, to dedicate this
project of recreation to the future
happiness and general welfare of our
citizens and our neighbors and friends
of adjoining communities.
"Last year the members of the Volunteer Fire Company of Kutztown
received permission from Town Council to use this property, known as the

Heinly Family Will
Meet Here Aug. 27
The Heinly Family Association will
hold its 34th annual reunion at Kutztown Park, Kutztown, Pa., Saturday,
August 27th.
This Family Association was organized in 1899, and is one of the oldest
in Pennsylvania.
Research into the family history
and ancestry in Germany has been
made by an eminent German genealogist, Dr. Kurt Ehr, von March-
taler, and his report will be read,
and photographs of records and of the
birthplaces of the Heinly ancestors
in Germany will be shown.
One of the features of the musical
program will be selections by Daniel
Jacoby, the boy cornetist of York,
Pa., a Junior High School boy, who
has acquired fame as a radio performer.
Letters from relatives in India,
Germany, and distant parts of the
United States will be read, and a
program of games and sports for old
and young will be carried out.
The original American ancestor of
the Heinly family was Matthias Hein-
lin, who emigrated from Germany to
this country in 1749, and from whom
is descended the two branches of the
Heinly family, one in Lehigh County,
and the other in Berks County. The
Association has a very complete
record of this ancestor's descendants,
and now through research in Germany, of his earlier ancestors.

AS EXHIBITION GETS INTO FULL SWING
i ■ - '
^xhibits, Midway, Free Shows and Other Attractions Surpass all Other Years; Exhibitors' List is
Larger Tran Ever
WILL COME TO CLOSE ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Today is the third day of the Kutztown Fair—bigger, better and more
attractive than ever.
Everyone is voicing that sentiment
wherever one goes. The Fair Association directors axe being complimented on every side for the fine
manner in which the annual exhibition is being conducted. Clean shows,
fun for everyone, and a great display
of products from the farm and home
are aiding in making the week everything it should be.
The fair this year is dedicated to
George Washington, the Farmer. This
theme is being carried out to the
fullest extent. Especially are the fireworks in remembrance of Washington. Each night patriotic pieces have
been shown, and the climax will be
reached tonight when the Iorio Fireworks Company will show Washington crossing the Delaware. This is
one of the most unique pieces ever
built and should attract the attention
of hundreds of people.
The free stage acts are the best that
H-en seen here in a long time.
Youngs are the sensation
was said they would be, and
other numbers, especially the
i dog act. are of the highest
calibre, i

two days to complete the work. Prize
winners are listed elsewhere in the

people were on the grounds the first
two days for afternoon and evening
performances. The Midway is most
colorful this year, and is exceptionally fine for the kiddies, who are

There is cooperation on every hand.
When the fair ends on Friday night,
the directors believe that they will
have set another record—both in attendance and in the quality and
quantity of the annual show.

School ever to have been held in
Kutztown will hold its closing exercises at 2 o'clock this coming Saturday afternoon in the Trinity Lutheran
Parish House, it was announced today by Rev. E. K. Angstadt, pastor of
St. John's Reformed Church, and director of the school.
All who are interested in the
school are invited to hear the program and view the exhibition of
handwork made by the children as
part' of the training during the past
three weeks. The exercises are designed to illustrate the type of study
included in the curriculum Und
should prove very interesting to all
who are concerned with the religious
education of children.
The children themselves are busy
this week preparing to entertain their
parents on Saturday, and every spare
moment is devoted to the making of
invitations and the arrangement of
the program. The members of the
faculty feel satisfied that their work
has been worthwhile and the interest and activity of the pupils confirm this impression. As the school
sessions draw to a close, the one hope
expressed by both children and
teachers is that there may be another
daily vacation Bible school next year.
St. John's Reformed Church sponsored this idea, and Trinity Lutheran
Church offered the use of the parish
house for the sessions. The aides volunteered their services to Rev. Angstadt and there has been fine cooperation and it has been a wonderful
thing for the kiddies.

COUNCIL MUST COLLECT
FEDERAL ELECTRIC TAX
To the Public:—
It had been the desire of
Kutztown Borough Council to
pay the three per cent Federal
tax on electric bills and the
matter had been taken before
the Collector of Revenues, who
replied that the law provides
that this ta* must be collected
from the consumer.
Such being the case, the tax
must be collected and can not
be paid by the Borough, so as
to allow this as a reduction to
the people of town.
(Signed)
KUTZTOWN BOR. COUNCIL.
BORO COUNCIL IN
REGULAR SESSION
Alleys to Be Repaired; Take
Insurance on Swimming
Pool
MUST COLLECT TAX
The regular meeting of Kutztown
Borough Council was called to order
by President Salem J. Bock on Monday evening, with other members
present, Ed. Scheidt. Jerry Kemp,
Ambrose Pennypacker, William S.
Christ, Chester Fenstermacher, and
Chief Burgess Harry B. Yoder. Superintendent W. J. Bear was also
present at this meeting.
The president called for reports of
committees. The Committee on Electric Light and Water reported on
water regarding the increasing of insurance on swimming pool property.
The matter was discussed pro and
con, and upon motion moved and
seconded it was decided that $3,000
covering be taken with the Farmers
Fire Insurance Company, of Bethlehem, Jacob Hoch. representative, and
that the balance of insurance required
be taken from John Rhode in the
Berks & Lehigh.
Under Highway, it was reported
that nothing had been done up to
this time in alteration of the catch
basin fronting Mrs. 3utz's property,
but it was instructed that Mr. Bear
make the necessary reconstruction as
soon as possible. At this time it was
also reported that the alley in rear
of Deisher Knitting Mills was in bad
condition and some temporary repairs should be made at once. It was
instructed that Mr. Bear investigate
and attend to the fixing of the same.
At this time it was reported that during the Fair Week "No Parking"
should be allowed on Walnut Street
and that the necessary signs be
placed. It was instructed that Mr.
Bear place the necessary signs as in
former years.
Under new business, it wa^ reported that the Borough would be required to collect the Federal tax of
3 per cent on domestic and commercial electric light bills to consumers.
This charge will have to be made and
collected by the Borough at the end
of August for July and August. Upon
motion moved and seconded it was
instructed that the Borough Solicitor
apply for extension of time, so that
all the necessary detail work can be
arranged for in connection with these
required collections.
Upon motion it was instructed that
the Borough authorities make the
necessary arrangements for the collection and return of the 3 per cent
Federal tax on electric light for the
months of July and August.
The secretary then presented and
read a letter from the Berks County
Poor Board, relative to unemployment
relief during fall and winter of this
year. The Secretary was instructed
to answer this communication.
There being no other business,
council adjourned to meet again on
September 2, as the next regular
meeting instead of the 5th, which is
a legal holiday.
THRONGS AT OFFICIAL OPENING OF POOL
HERE SEE BEAUTY CONTEST AND TAKE DIP
Mae Kemp Chosen Miss East Penn Valley on Sunday at
Dedication; Burgess Yoder Accepts Pool
on Behalf of Town
MORE THAN 500 BATHERS ENJOY SWIM IN POOL
Kutztown's new swimming pool
was officially opened with pomp and
ceremony on Sunday afternoon, with
at least 5,000 people looking on and
participating in the affair.
Automobiles poured into the
grounds in a steady stream from 12.30
to 2 o'clock, and the seating capacity
of the grounds was overtaxed, even
though more than 500 people took
advantage of a swim in the pool. At
no time during the afternoon could
they supply the demand for baskets
in which to place clothing, and many
were allowed to change costumes free
of charge and place their clothing in
automobiles.
Probably the majority of the folks
came to witness the beauty contest
which was staged on the grounds.
Five girls participated in the affair:
"Miss Kutztown," Miss Lucy Luckenbill; "Miss Topton." Miss Mae Yoder;
"Miss Greenwich." Miss Mae Kemp;
"Miss Maxatawny," Miss Elda Fenstermacher, and "Miss Longswamp,"
Miss Kathryn Kaiser.
Judges for the affair were chosen
on the grounds so that they could be
entirely impartial. Three Reading
men, Theodore Schlegel, Clarence
Esterly and Edward Bingaman, reviewed the girls as they marched
about the pool, and as they returned
to the platform, after a short deliberation, they were unanimous in choosing Miss Kemp, of Greenwich, as
"Miss East Penn Valley." The choice
was popular and Miss Kemp was
given quite a hannd. Each of the
other girls was given a season ticket
to the pool for their share in making
the affair a success. Miss Kemp was
presented with a ten dollar bill. The
presentation was made by Harry G.
Seltzer, who was master of ceremonies for the afternoon.
The affair began promptly with a
short band concert by the Kutztown
Band. Through the amplification system set up by George O'Neil, the
music was carried to all parts of the
grounds.
Mr. Seltzer, in behalf of the Kutztown Volunteer Firemen, welcomed
the people to Kutztown and the new
pool. His remarks were quite appropriate, and he thanked everyone for
aiding the firemen in making the joyous event a success.
The Kutztown Band, under the direction of Preston Metzger, again presented several numbers, and then
Burgess Harry B. Yoder was introduced and as Burgess of the community expressed his appreciation of
the work undertaken by the firemen.
Burgess Yoder said in part:
"Fellow Citizens:—It is a pleasure
to be given the opportunity of saying
a few words to such a large assemblage, gathered here for this momentous occasion of dedicating the
swimming pool of the Borough of
Kutztown. 'Tis true the pool has been
opened to the public several weeks
in which time thousands of men,
women and children enjoyed the
swimming facilities. But we are
gathered here, today, to dedicate this
project of recreation to the future
happiness and general welfare of our
citizens and our neighbors and friends
of adjoining communities.
"Last year the members of the Volunteer Fire Company of Kutztown
received permission from Town Council to use this property, known as the

Heinly Family Will
Meet Here Aug. 27
The Heinly Family Association will
hold its 34th annual reunion at Kutztown Park, Kutztown, Pa., Saturday,
August 27th.
This Family Association was organized in 1899, and is one of the oldest
in Pennsylvania.
Research into the family history
and ancestry in Germany has been
made by an eminent German genealogist, Dr. Kurt Ehr, von March-
taler, and his report will be read,
and photographs of records and of the
birthplaces of the Heinly ancestors
in Germany will be shown.
One of the features of the musical
program will be selections by Daniel
Jacoby, the boy cornetist of York,
Pa., a Junior High School boy, who
has acquired fame as a radio performer.
Letters from relatives in India,
Germany, and distant parts of the
United States will be read, and a
program of games and sports for old
and young will be carried out.
The original American ancestor of
the Heinly family was Matthias Hein-
lin, who emigrated from Germany to
this country in 1749, and from whom
is descended the two branches of the
Heinly family, one in Lehigh County,
and the other in Berks County. The
Association has a very complete
record of this ancestor's descendants,
and now through research in Germany, of his earlier ancestors.
